Calling Switzerland

How to phone Switzerland from the UK

Switzerland uses the country code +41.

From the United Kingdom you need to dial:

0041
then the full national number minus any leading 0

Example

Swiss number: 028 2345678
Dialled from the UK as: 00 41 28 2345678

Numbers beginning with +41

Sometimes, the number you want to call may already be written out including the +41 country code. For example:

  • +41 28 2345678
  • +41 (0)28 2345678

In such cases, you just replace the '+' with the UK international access code of 00 and ignore any reference to '(0)'. Both the examples above would be dialled as: 00 41 28 2345678.


How do they call me from Switzerland?

To call a United Kingdom landline or mobile phone from Switzerland, dial 00 44, then the UK number without its leading zero.

For example, the UK number 01632 312829 should be dialled as 00 44 1632 312829 from Switzerland.
